Colors & The Kids

Cat Power
It must be the colors and the kids that keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors and the kids that keep me alive

'Cause I wanna go right away to a January night



I built a shack with an old friend, he was someone I could learn from

Someone I could become

Will you meet me down on a sandy beach

We can roll up our jeans so the tide won't get us below the knees



Yellow hair you are a funny bear

Yellow hair you are such a funny bear

Slender fingers would hold me, slender limbs would hold me

And you could say my name like you knew my name



I could stay here

Become someone different

I could stay here

Become someone better



It's so hard to go in the city 'cause you wanna say hello to everybody

It's so hard to go into the city

'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody

When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky

Now all we wanna do is go to red places and try to stay outta hell



It must be the colors and the kids that keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors and it must just be the kids

That keep me alive on this January night



Yellow hair you are a funny bear

Yellow hair you are such a funny bear
